Hasee to Phasee: another fine illustration of the grand conceit of Bollywood which begins with a complex female character - nerdy bordering-on-autistic-genius Parineeti - who is steadily shorn of her authentic attributes and candyflossed into a Bollywood heroine - break into Bhangra, glam up, tear up, get the appropriately family-mandated guy. Karan Johar is one smart cookie: change the face paint but keep the familiar regressive core; show a hat-ke heroine who ultimately tows the domestic-diva line; and yes, in the end throw a googly which harks back to the original defining attribute ... Aint there a thing called consistency, character arc, credible storytelling? With this film Bollywood sure can make one claim: For the fastest fix to autism spectrum disorder, Main Hoon Na.
